Chapter 1038 Residence
"what is that?"

"More than a decade ago, a luxury cruise ship in the East China Sea was swept away by a giant dragon and disappeared without a trace. On board was Zheng Dechang, then Marquis of Yanping, who is also the father of the current Marquis of Yanping. Did you know about this?"

This is what Shangluo just heard from Lu Huaiyang in the car. This case is called the "Dragon Hidden Case". The ship of the former Marquis of Yanping disappeared in the East China Sea. According to the description of the fishermen who witnessed it, a giant dragon in the fog took away the ship and everyone on board. At that time, both the imperial court and the Lan Fang side dispatched the navy and the coast guard to search, but even the wreckage of the ship was not found.

The card that Shangluo just took out was the only evidence in the past ten years.

"Ah? I don't know."

Lu Huaiyang next to him asked, "Then where did you get this debit card? This is the card of Marquis Yanping."

"My father said that as long as I have this card, I will have a place to live in the capital."

"That's true. You have a place to stay now." Lu Huaiyang nodded. "If you can't explain the source of this debit card, we will have to ask you to stay in the imperial prison for a while. Or, you can call the Dragon Palace now and ask them what's going on."

"I... I can't get in touch with him. My father won't let me contact Dragon Palace on my own initiative. But my father said that if Shangluo wants to contact Dragon Palace, he can find me."

"What a coincidence." Lu Huaiyang nodded again, "Now if you want to contact the Dragon Palace, just look for Shangluo. You can look for each other. What else did your father say?"

"He didn't say anything. He just told me not to go back to Dragon Palace for the time being, and not to contact him or the Dragon Palace for the time being."

"That's such a coincidence." Lu Huaiyang put his hands behind his back, "Don't worry, as long as you don't confess, I promise that you won't be able to contact anyone in this prison."

"How can this be? Shangluo! Shangluo! Help me call! I'll give you the number! Help me call back!"

She quickly reported a number.

"Do you have telephones in Dragon Palace?" Lu Huaiyang asked.

"This is not the Dragon Palace's phone number, this is our office's phone number. Please, let Shangluo help me make the call!"

"How about you fight one?" Lu Huaiyang suggested.

Shangluo nodded and walked out of the interrogation room with Lu Huaiyang.

"What's going on?" Shangluo muttered as he entered the number, "Do you know Captain Lu?"

"How would I know? I wasn't even a captain at that time, so I don't know the details of the case at all. But there is one thing I am sure of. This card is the only clue in the whole case. Whether Guoxing's father is dead or alive, and where he has gone, I'm afraid only Longgong knows now."

"Yeah." Shangluo dialed the phone, and someone answered within a few seconds.

"Hello, this is Iruka Trading Company, may I ask who you are?"

"I'm looking for the Dragon King." Shangluo said.

"Wait a minute. Ah! I get it. Right away! Please wait a moment." As soon as the person on the other end of the phone heard the name, he seemed to know why Shangluo came.

As soon as I put down the phone, someone spoke:
"Hello? Excuse me, is this Shang Tianjun?" A hoarse old man's voice appeared on the other side. It was not the Dragon King who picked up the phone.

"Your Excellency? I'm looking for the Dragon King."

"The Dragon King has returned to Ryugu City to inspect his troops. I am the Prime Minister of Ryugu City and the president of Iruka Trading Company. You can just call me Prime Minister Turtle."

"Ah, I've heard a lot about you. I want to ask you about that debit card."

"We already know about the debit card." Prime Minister Kame interrupted him, "We know what will happen if we use that card. Princess Otohime should be in the Imperial Prison by now, right?"

"Yes, that's right." Shang Luo nodded, "So you just want to send her here?" "Because the case is under investigation. For some personal reasons, the Dragon King wants to send Yiji to a place where no one can contact her. After thinking about it, the only place can be the Imperial Prison."

"Then why don't you just send her here?"

"My Lord Shang Tian, ​​how can we catch her? We can only send her to you first, and let her go to the Imperial Prison when she lets her guard down. Once she is in the Imperial Prison, the Imperial Guards will definitely find a way to deal with her."

"Hmm?" Shangluo and Lu Huaiyang confirmed it, and the latter gave a thumbs up to indicate that there was no problem.

"Okay then." Shangluo nodded, "The accommodation you arranged is indeed good. How about future contact?"

"If you can get this number from her, her mission will be accomplished. You can just call me later. As for Princess Otohime, please persuade her to stay in the Imperial Prison for a while and eat prison food. The Dragon King will bring her out sooner or later."

"Sooner or later? When is sooner or later?"

"It's going to happen sooner or later. Uh." Prime Minister Turtle hesitated. "It's going to happen sooner or later."

"Okay." Shang Luo said helplessly, "Since this is your own arrangement, I don't care. I will tell her this. But I do have a question - Guoxing's father, the former Marquis of Yanping."

"You mean the Longyin case? We know about it." Prime Minister Turtle replied immediately, "I know the whole thing."

"Is Guoxing's father still alive?"

"." After a moment of frankness, Prime Minister Turtle was silent for a while, "Sorry, I can't say it. Only the Dragon King himself can speak about this matter. If Marquis Yanping asks, please tell him the same thing."

"That's fine. That's it. I'll find you guys later if I need anything."

"So, this is the situation." Back in the interrogation room, Shangluo said to Yiji, "It was your father's idea to bring you here, and I was kept in the dark."

[I think you really have to keep her in the dark before you can bring her in. Like Xiaohong, these dragons seem to be very perceptive. If you want to catch her from the beginning, I'm afraid she won't come in so obediently. Only when she is completely defenseless can you let her walk into the prison on her own.]

"So what did you do wrong to make your father ask you to do this?"

“Urashima Taro! Isn’t it just because of Urashima Taro? Is it that serious? Let me out! Let me out!”

"Then Captain Lu, I'll leave it to you now?"

"Okay, you go." Lu Huaiyang patted his shoulder and said, "Leave it to me."

Hearing this, Shangluo turned around and left.

"Damn it! Damn it!" Otohime, who was sitting on the stool, was already full of dragon energy. Her hair was gradually turning white and moving without wind. She was about to break free from the chair.

"Want to run?!" Lu Huaiyang smiled contemptuously, "Look what this is?"

He showed the magic weapon that had been hidden behind him:

"Dragon Whip!!! And... Dragon Binding Rope! And Coiled Dragon Staff! And Dragon Subduing Mace! What are you going to do?"

"These are all given by the previous king, specifically to punish disobedient dragons like you. Since you know your own stuff, don't cause us any trouble. The Imperial Prison won't let you starve - there will be no food, but there will be plenty of fasting pills. Just stay in the Imperial Prison obediently. When your Dragon King explains things clearly, you can leave through this door again."

After saying that, Lu Huaiyang walked out and slammed the heavy iron door shut, leaving Yi Ji in cell No. 9526 of the imperial prison.

A long dragon roared out from the cell, full of anger, unwillingness and despair, and the sound echoed in the 9th underground floor of the imperial prison. But Shangluo, who had already boarded the elevator, could no longer hear it.
